The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 124 Hua Concubine
Ulanara looked at Qi Yuebin and smiled helplessly.

"Sister Qi just entered the mansion yesterday, and today she saw something like this, which shocked her."

Qi Yuebin was born into a military family, and no situation had ever scared her, she bowed.

"Don't worry, Madam. I am not afraid. I think the master's decision is very wise. If I have the intention to kill the master, I will not be able to stay. My Yaoyue Garden should be shared with other sisters. Let the servants clean up the room for the two sisters tonight."

Ulanara said with a smile.

"Sister Qi Mingyi, this is very good."

Hu Gege and Shu Gege moved into Yaoyue Garden in the evening. Because the fire happened suddenly, the housekeeper ordered people to hastily clean up the left and right wing rooms for the two princesses to stay in first. The rest of the matters would have to be sorted out slowly after tomorrow.

Hu Gege watched the second-class maid Chunhong applying medicine on her wrist, and seeing that there was no one around, she asked.

"Did you watch that bitch Yucui die?"

Chunhong said as she applied the medicine.

"Yes. I went to see it secretly. The executioner was very cruel. When Yucui died, there was no good meat left on her back or buttocks. She died of blood gushing from all seven orifices. It was very horrible."

Hu Gege said bitterly.

"She deserves it! She has been by my side for six years, and I have never doubted her. Although she was pointed out to me by the concubine, I think people's hearts will always change. I saw her taking care of me and serving me obediently, so I thought she was mine. I didn't expect that every time I slept with her, the tonic she brought me was actually contraceptive soup! I finally served the master once, but she treated me like this! I am powerless to compete with the concubine now, so can't I cure Yucui?! Fortunately, you understand pharmacology, otherwise I would die in this mansion without knowing that I can't get pregnant!"

Chunhong lowered her head, put away the medicine bottles on the table, and sighed.

"Princess, don't be angry. From now on, I will serve you wholeheartedly."

Hu Gege breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily I have you. You can prepare some pregnancy-maintaining medicine for me someday. I will take a few doses of it. You see, Mrs. Duan is pregnant, and Mrs. Feng is also pregnant. I also want to have a child of my own, so that I can have something to rely on."

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Nian Shilan was helped up by Songzhi early in the morning.

Songzhi and the servants serving Cheng'enyuan knelt outside Nian Shilan's bedroom.

"The servants wish Concubine Jin a happy birthday, good times and good scenery every year!"

Nian Shilan was sitting in front of the dressing table waiting for Guyu and Xiaoman to dress her up. When she heard the servants' blessings, a smile broke out on her face.

"You are really good at pleasing others. You have come at the right time. This is the time when I was born. Everyone will be rewarded! Songzhi, go to the money box and get some silver to give to everyone."

Songzhi hurried into the house and took out the money box. The servants outside were very happy.

Guyu and Xiaoman came into the room to help Nian Shilan dress up, and Guyu skillfully made new hairstyles for her.

Nian Shilan looked in the mirror and found it very pleasing to her.

After Songzhi brought her a gold-brocade cloak and carefully tied a bow on it for her, and put an exquisite enamel hand warmer with a pattern of birds in Nian Shilan's hand, Nian Shilan took Songzhi out to pay her respects to the Ulanara family.

When Nian Shilan arrived, even Feng and Duan, who were both pregnant, had arrived. Qi Yuebin sat below Nian Shilan, while Ulanara sat above Nian Shilan.

"I pay my respects to Madam Fu-jin, may Madam Fu-jin live in peace and happiness."

Ulanara smiled and motioned for Nian Shilan to stand up.

"Sister Nian, please stand up and take a seat first."

Seeing Nian Shilan sitting down, Ulanara said, "Sister Nian is very happy today. Her eighteenth birthday is a big day. The master said that today should be a lively day. He has invited the famous opera troupe Bailitang in Beijing. Sister, please take a look at the playlist later and order a play so that they can prepare it first."

Nian Shilan looked at Ulanara with a smile.

"Thank you, Master, and Madam. I have never cared much about birthdays, but Master and Madam care about me, and I am grateful. There are only a few plays on the playlist, and Madam is the boss."

Seeing that Nian Shilan seemed to be uninterested, Ulanara did not force her and turned to ask Qi Yuebin.

"Sister Qi, is there any play you want to watch?"

Qi Yuebin nodded humbly and said.

"I am a person of little promise. I usually like to watch stories about talented men and beautiful women. Today is a good day for the concubine, so why not order a play called The Legend of the White Snake? Although the White Snake and Xu Xian experienced many twists and turns, the ending was good after all. I like this kind of play."

Ulanara asked Hu Gege, Shu Gege, Feng Gege and Duan one by one. Some of them said that the wife would make the decision, while others ordered their favorite songs. However, Nian Shilan thought of her previous life.

At that time, Ulanara was the empress, and Nian Shilan invited everyone in the palace to watch a play. However, from the repertoire to the singing, reciting, acting and fighting, everything was full of hidden meanings, which was really boring.

In this life, Nian Shilan has become indifferent to everything. If it weren't for the fact that the Nian family has not yet reached its peak and the Nian family's revenge has not yet been avenged, Nian Shilan really would not be willing to be hypocritical with Ulanara and Yinzhen.

I don’t know how my brother is doing, but based on my experience in the previous life, I will definitely win this battle.

Nian Shilan drank his tea without saying anything. Ulanara said a few words to Qi Yuebin and then asked them to leave.

Nian Shilan returned to Cheng'en Garden to have breakfast, and Su Peisheng came with Yinzhen's reward.

"My Lady, the master said that you can keep these things for your enjoyment or give them away as gifts, as long as you like them. In addition, the master said that he will give you a surprise when he returns from the palace today, so please dress up."

Su Peisheng's words were clear, but Nian Shilan was confused.

What surprise? Why do I need to dress up? How should I dress up? Haven't I already dressed up today?

Nian Shilan sat under the window drinking tea with doubts in her mind, and soon she heard the eunuch’s message.

"The master is here~!"

Nian Shilan stood up and went out to greet them, and Yinzhen came over with a smile on his face.

"My concubine greets my master, may my master be blessed."

Nian Shilan bowed and Yinzhen held her arms with both hands.

"No need to be polite. Guess what good thing I'm going to give you?"

Nian Shilan really couldn't guess, so she stared at Yinzhen in a daze.

"I really can't think of it, can you please explain it to me clearly, Master?"

Yinzhen reached out and pinched Nian Shilan's chin.

"After the morning court session today, I asked the Emperor to give you a title. From now on, you will be my concubine Hua!"

Nian Shilan's pupils dilated instantly. How could it be! How could it be so early in this life!

　She is coming, she is coming, she is coming with the title!
